Christopher Hitchens unveils his tantalizing thesis that Michele Obama could well be the reason that Barry has been sitting in the fatuous, foaming Jeremiah’s pews for the past two decades, being married by him and having his two daughters baptised by him. If so, Barry’s candidacy would be hiding another bombshell besides Wright, Ayers and Rezko: that he secretly is a two-fer candidate like the Clintons before him. Yech.

I was ambivalent about President Bush’s recent invocation of the Vietnam post-war catastrophe (re-education camps, thousands escaping in rickety boats, piles of corpses in next-door Cambodia) as the definitive example of what could happen if we similarly slam the door on Iraq as the Dems want to do. But the Seablogger, linking to a recalcitrant Christopher Hitchens and a matter-of-fact Mark Steyn, reminds me that the Dems feel free to flee because they have never admitted to any connection between their anti-Vietnam war effort and the horrors that followed. They would just turn their other blind eye to Iraq.

At the very top of the top 10 list, of course, is the constant refrain that no WMD were found:
"Several hundred chemical weapons were found, and Saddam had all his WMD scientists and technicians ready. Just end the sanctions and add money, and the weapons would be back in production within a year. At the time of the invasion, all intelligence agencies, world-wide, believed Saddam still had a functioning WMD program."
This should include Saddam’s nuclear weapons program, which Christopher Hitchens recalls, if no one else does: "Saddam Hussein had built an enormous secret nuclear reactor at Tuwaitha, and had acquired most of the elements of a nuclear weapon."
